To be valid for hiring a car at a Bolzano car rental, one has to be over 21 years of age, with a valid Driving License, which one should have had for more than a year prior to the date of renting a car. For younger drivers aged between 21 and 25 years of age, a higher rental rate applies to them. Some Car Rental companies even dictate the make and size of a car that a young driver should or should not be permitted to rent. This is probably because youngsters can be rather reckless at times and the tight rules are put in place in a bid to reduce road carnage.
